The National Solar Observatory's Integrated Synoptic Program (NISP) provides long-term synoptic observations of the Sun to international solar and solar-terrestrial physics communities. In the solar context, synoptic observations typically cover the entire visible disk of the Sun, and also extend for decades in time to observe several complete solar sunspot activity cycles.[1]. NISP data complement the observations of such instruments as the DKIST, which will provide extremely detailed high-resolution observations over a small area of the solar surface for a limited time. Both types of observations – high-resolution from DKIST and long-term global views from NISP – are essential if we are to understand the Sun and the solar activity that affects our terrestrial technology.
NISP operates two major NSO projects: the Global Oscillations Network Group (GONG), and the Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun (SOLIS)[2] [3]. The observational data are used for the fundamental research in solar physics and the operational space weather forecast[4]
